Fort of the Elm Tree, is a village situated about thirty
miles south west of Dublin. The village is pleasant but

the horse racing centre at the Curragh, County Kildare.

village.
The Courthouse in the
centre of the village, built in the Doric style of Grecian
architecture, it is one of three such buildings in Ireland.

prestigious competitions. The Dunlavin Festival of Arts is
